Haphazardly Loved

Ino was not happy.

After being abducted by some freak with gills and then dropped on her butt in front of some freak who had stupid nose duds, Ino was not a happy camper.

Not by a long shot.

Now, Ino wasn't as fussy about her looks as she was when she was a genin, but her long hair was in a puddle of murky water and she felt disgusting.

Oh, what's this?

Another freak with a plant head walked in arguing with himself.

Great.

Just Great.

A freak that was crazy.

"Hey you fu-"

Ino was interrupted by the freak with nose duds.

"What talents do you have?"

Ino glared at him.

Might as well be honest.

"I'm not a good ninja. I can arrange flowers. I can clean and I'm pro at annoying people."

The nose freak said nothing.

Ino closed her eyes. "What, am I not good enough by your standards?"

The nose freak ignored her and said, "We are the Akatsuki."

Ino made a face.

"The Akatsuki? The ones who want Naruto?"

The nose freak nodded.

Ino crossed her arms. "Pshh, that's lame. At least Orochimaru doesn't make an organization to cover up the fact that he likes chasing little boys."

An odd silence ensued.

The Nose freak sighed and said, "You will work for Akatsuki."

"Doing what?"

Ino didn't believe it, arranging flowers and being annoying cleaning were usele-

"Arranging flowers and cleaning."

'…wow.'

Ino was about to have a conniption.

Before Ino could perform her fit she was picked up by the blue freak and taken out of the main room.

.x X x.

Ino hadn't let go of the conniption idea.

She had been sitting in her new room for a grand total of 2.5 minutes and she was already getting tired of being pissed.

Suddenly a blonde man burst into her room.

"My name is Deidara, yeah, I-"Deidara stopped.

Ino gaped.

This man looked a lot like her.

"…follow me. Dinner is ready."

Deidara was in some sort of shock.

Ino snorted.

'Freak.'

One personality quirk Ino had was that her honesty shown though greatly in awkward situations.

And to her dismay, dinner was awkward.

They sat at a long table with leader at the end.

Ino sat at the other end, fiddling with her napkin.

'Napkin…must….talk…back.'

Suddenly, Ino was struck with a thought.

"Deidara…"

Deidara looked at her. In fact, the whole group did.

Unfazed, Ino spoke her mind.

"Do you think you would look like me if you had boobs?"

Deidara's eyes bugged out.

Kisame half choked on his food.

Hidan, who was sitting to her right, grinned.

And then something unexpected happened.

"…I suppose he would." Leader replied.

Deidara was in a tizzy….why were they talking about boobs? On him?

Ino tapped her chin thoughtfully.

The boy to her left, the one with the orange mask, spoke up,

"Ne, Deidara-senpai, would you really consider getting boobs?"

Deidara gave him a dangerous look, "Listen punk, say one more thing and I'll pound you, yeah!

The boy, though Ino couldn't see his face, seemed sad.

"But Tobi is a good boy!"

Ino looked at him.

"…Tobi, eh?"

Tobi nodded.

"I like your name, Tobi."

"Thank you Ino-san, I like yours too!"

Ino smiled and continued to eat.

Deidara spat in his food and cursed Tobi for another minute

After that, nobody talked, but Leader kept looking between the obnoxious female and the masked fool.

Interesting…

.x X x.

Ino hummed to herself, making the beds for the members was very interesting.

She got to see a little about the Akatsuki members.

She was making Itachi's bed. He had a very majestic-like red bed spread. A couple of feet away stood Kisame's blue bed. In between the two beds there was a small wooden nightstand.

And on it was a cute little shark alarm clock.

Ino giggled.

A sock lay on Kisame's bed and as she put the sock away in the nightstand's compartment, she found a mini pillow with the Uchiha symbol.

She heard the door open and saw Itachi walk in.

In her surprise she squeezed the pillow and the pillow squeaked out a little, "Uchiha!"

Ino squeezed it again.

"Uchiha!"

Ino rushed to Itachi, placed the pillow in his hand and ran out the room.

She slammed the door shut.

Itachi heard the girl's laughter, and said to himself,

"…Kisame had the same reaction."

.x X x.

After Ino had managed to compose herself, she set out to Tobi and Deidara's room.

You could tell which side was Deidara's was on because there was signed taped on the wall above his bed.

It read:

TOBI, DO NOT COME NEAR MY SIDE OF THE ROOM, YEAH!

Ino sighed and proceeded to make the beds.

Ino yelled in surprise as she stepped on something hard and pokey.

She looked down to see a small clay model.

"…freak."

Ino walked to Tobi's bed a sat down.

Something about him made her happy.

Maybe it was because he was goofy.

Ino thought about it.

Yeah, that would make sense.

Chouji was nice, but more of a sad people-pleaser than a happy people-pleaser.

Shikamaru went kind of weird after Asuma died, and even before that he was troublesome.

Naruto was just on crack,

And Sasuke, in Ino's opinion, was permanently PMSing.

So Tobi was a good break from all that drama.

Of course, she talked to him one time, but who cares!!

After all, Tobi was a good boy.

Ino finished making his bed and flounced out of their room, only to run into Tobi himself.

"Ah, sorry Tobi!"

Tobi helped her up, "Oh no, I'm sorry Ino-san!"

Tobi followed Ino to Hidan and Kakuzu's room, apologizing the whole way.

"Ino-san, what can I do to make it up to you?"

Ino, getting tired of his apologizing, said quickly, "I don't know- make me something."

"Make you something….?" Tobi pondered this and wondered off.

Ino was about to open the door when the door opened.

Hidan was standing there, hovering above Ino.

'He's so tall…'

Hidan raised an eyebrow, "Yes, little one?"

Ino smiled awkwardly, "I've come to make your beds," Ino made a face, "…and I'm not little!"

Hidan closed his eyes, "My, your stubborn."

Ino put her hands on her hips. "So?"

Hidan blinked.

And then he let her through.

Ino made Kakuzu and Hidan's bed very quickly, but she stopped when she found a necklace with a strange pendant on it.

Hidan, who was leaning against the wall, asked, "What are you doing?"

Ino turned around and showed him the necklace.

"It's my religion's symbol." Hidan said, and he visibly brightened.

Ino looked at him.

Who'd a thunk it?

This S-class criminal was a religious man.

As Ino looked at his smirk and his opened cloak, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of religion it was exactly.

"…awesome."

Something lit up in Hidan's eyes. "You wanna hear about it?"

Ino, noticing the three blade scythe in his hand, chose her words carefully.

"Well…maybe later…I…have to finish cleaning…and then rearrange flowers…"

Hidan made a dismissing hand gesture, "Eh, your loss."

And with that, Hidan walked away.

Ino stared at the place he once stood.

"…freak."

.x X x.

Ino took out her check-list.

Deidara and Tobi, check.

Itachi and Kisame, check.

Hidan and Kakuzu, check.

Now…Zetsu and…nobody.

And then…eh.

That was it.

Easy enough.

.x X x.

Apparently, Ino thought as she sat with an icepack to her face, making Zetsu's bed was not easy.

Whatever plant Zetsu was messing with when Ino walked in, she was severely allergic to, and now her face was completely swollen.

Zetsu had kindly walked her back to her room, since her eyes were swollen shut, and got her some ice.

He was now Zetsu-san and not crazy plant freak.

Ino sat on her bed for a while before Hidan walked in.

"Why are you not at dinner?"

Hidan looked vaguely surprised at her appearance.

"What…happened?"

Ino moved her face down.

Hidan almost cringed. "…I'll have Deidara send you some food…"

Hidan walked out of her room, mumbling to himself, "And some skin care crap…I know that idiot uses it."

Ino would have said thank you, but her lips weren't moving.

.x X x.

Deidara was a little surprised when Hidan commanded him to bring Ino food, and to help her.

Help her with what?

Deidara moodily knocked on the girl's door.

All he heard was a muffled noise.

Confused, he let himself in.

Deidara almost gasped.

The girl's face was swollen.

Not just a little, the whole shebang!

Her eyes were swollen shut and her lips.

Deidara looked at the dinner on his tray.

"There's no way you're going to be able to eat this, yeah."

Ino nodded.

"…I'll go see if I have anything for your face."

.x X x.

Ino was really hungry.

Once she could talk, she was going to tell Zetsu-san, Hidan-san, and Deidara-san 'thank you', over and over and over again.

Ino waited a good ten minutes before Deidara came back with a sinister looking bottle.

"This is cream that has healing chakra mixed in with it. Just put it on for five minutes and you should be back to normal!" Deidara said, smiling.

Ino got up and hugged him.

'My face! It's saved!'

Deidara flushed, "Yeah, yeah. Just come back to dinner when you're done."

Ino nodded enthusiastically and into her bathroom.

.x X x.

Ino walked into the dining room quietly.

"…where have you been?" Leader asked, not bothering to look at her.

"I don't have to tell you."

Leader looked at her. "I could kill you in a second."

"…Do you really want to know? Fine, I'll tell you!"

Leader looked at her expectantly.

I'm on my period and I was taking my tampon and I was trying to shove it up my-"

"I get it." The leader interrupted.

Ino grinned.

The rest of the table looked shocked.

Except for Hidan, because he found it funny, and Itachi, because he never showed emotion.

Deidara smacked his head. Leader would have understood if she just told him what happened.

Ino sat down, trying to hold her smugness in when she noticed something was missing.

"Where is Tobi?"

Deidara grinned, "If you don't say anything, maybe he won't come back!"

"…he said he needed to get something." Zetsu replied calmly.

Itachi looked at her, his face straight, "Why do you care?"

The table hushed.

Ino blushed, "I was just curious!"

Itachi smirked slightly, "…do you have any…feelings for him?"

Kisame looked at the Uchiha in mute surprised. He wasn't normally this forward.

Unexpectedly, Ino smiled viciously at him, "I think his mask is hot, what's it to you?"

Silence.

Itachi activated his Sharingan. "I don't appreciate being talked to like that."

Leader looked at Ino, who still had that odd grin on her face.

"And I don't appreciate being kidnapped by you, but you don't see me crying 'bout it."

Hidan smirked. He rather liked this girl's sass.

Itachi said nothing.

Ino picked at her food.

"…I do have good taste though."

Itachi raised an eyebrow, "What makes you think that?"

Ino scratched her cheek, "Eh, I love your bed spread. It's pretty."

Itachi sighed. Women would never make sense.

Ino giggled nervously.

Leader put down his newspaper.

"Tomorrow we have a mission."

All attention was on him.

"…I've decided that Ino will probably become lonely…so we will be abducting Hyuuga Hinata, Tori Tenten, and Haruno Sakura. They will accompany Ino while working with her."

Deidara was confused, "That's why? There are no other reasons?"

Leader nodded.

Besides the blue haired one, the closets thing that even remotely resembled a woman was Deidara.

And he was not about to say that out loud.

At the other side of the table, Ino was having a mental war.

She wanted them to come (They were her best friends) and then she didn't want them to come (They were her best friends).

Ino rubbed her temple. That made no sense.

She hoped Tobi would come back soon.

She needed a moron that would listen to her.

XXXX

Okay! So that is what I got!!

I hope you like it, I think it's weird.

Pairings will be:

KisameXTenten, cuz I think its hot.

HidanXHinata, cuz I think it's just darling!

And Somehow I will make this SuigetsuxSakura, cuz you know thay love eachother.

…even though they don't know each other…

Anyway, Lotsa love!

The Queen of Ramen,

Ramenism!
